<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::nearly loses fingers getting feeding Furklaw
a donut:: Ack!))

lab trying to save a scientist...::as he thanks Sypher and munches, oddly
not enjoying this one as much::

pretty bad...

<SypherSK> Well... There's one bright side...
<ScottFurklaw> ::looks up:: Oh?
<Aric> Reinforcements, I say...
<SypherSK> Yeah... Feral allowed that the MBI wasn't *quite* as
bad as the SWAT Kats... They blew up the whole lab...
<SypherSK> We just took out two rooms...
<ScottFurklaw> ::chuckles:: At least we won't be receiving calls....
<Jason> ::walks out:: Think again...
<SypherSK> Feral?
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> No, Santa. ::dryly:: Yes, Feral!))
<CaseySK> ((heheh))
<Jason> ::nods:: Yep...::casually takes a drink from his Coke::
Said he wasn't too happy with the fact that we were there in the first
place... *Then* he went into the whole issue over the lab rooms beings
blown to bits...
<ScottFurklaw> ((::DIES!!::))
<CaseySK> ((But Santa...I wanna fly in the helicopter too...))
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Why'd Santa call... <Jase> We've
been naughty... <Furklaw> HE took the donuts!))

<SypherSK> Any real trouble or just hot air?

a bicycle...::Feral sweatdrop::))
<Aric> Good thing I didn't go with you guys... I'm free and clear
of blame! ::Grins, ducks!::
<SypherSK> ::the only things he knows of Feral comes from.. well,
sources that have good reason not to like Feral::

<CaseySK> ((hey...if I'm gonna be burnt up in the hospital the
least I can do is provide comic relief))
<Aric> ::Snickering!::
<ScottFurklaw> ::stands:: I better get to the hospital...
<SypherSK> ::thinks he needs to start making his own opinions of
Feral rather than relying on those he absorbed from two disgruntled Enforcers...
two *really* cool disgruntled Enforcers, mind you::

the jokester... ::Smirks::))

Sy's the kid - he's only six months old!))

be so down...

<Aric> Maybe we could cheer him up somehow?
<SypherSK> ::arrives at the hospital, still in the power stream...
pokes into their computers to find where Casey's room is... finds it, zaps
straight to... an electrical outlet near athe room.... best not to just
"pop" into the room of a seriously ill patient, eh?::
<Jason> :chuckles:: Give 'im a few...he'll be back to finish off
the donuts in no time...
<Aric> UHm...
<Aric> ::Starts to sneak off...::
<Jason> ::blinks:: What?

a few.
<ScottFurklaw> Then let's go in before they do...
<SypherSK> ((<Casey's Physical Therapist> ::is there now,
however,... issa huge woman with a face like a gorilla:: <Sy and

all:: Save me! She's like... Attila the Hun! She's killing me!))

<SypherSK> ::peeks at Casey, notes that he's stable and all... but
kinda crisp... does a nice technical diagnosis his mun is too braindead
to bother with... he has an extensive knowledge of feline biology tho'::
<ScottFurklaw> How's he doin'? ::whisper::
<CaseySK> ((I know nothing about biology...he'd just look crispy
to me))
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> I'm not sure... He's either
original recipe or extra crispy.. What do you think?))
<SypherSK> Stable.
<CaseySK> ((::dies::))
<CaseySK> ((extra crispy))
<CaseySK> ((::is crunchy::))
<ScottFurklaw> :breathes a small sigh of relief::
<SypherSK> ::steps over to look at Casey closely as he seems to
be asleep, mutters something technical to himself::
<ScottFurklaw> ((<Sy> ::muttered:: The plug goes into the
socket...))
<SypherSK> ((Ought he find anything funny about Casey?))
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!::))
<ScottFurklaw> ((Hey! That's technical! ;) ))
<SypherSK> ((<Casey> Well, sure! I'm loads of laughs!))
<CaseySK> ((::tries the snork thing on for size::))
<RJTremor> ((Try this! ::Snikkersnortlaughdies!:: Aie... not
good for a blah wuff...))
<SypherSK> ::notices some kind of oddity in Casey's infrared reading...

up the chemicals stored in that room...>

<SypherSK> ((<Sy> That's my little brother... Sucha good go-fer!))
<CaseySK> Umm...I...hurt but other than that...
<ScottFurklaw> ((::Dies!!::))
<ScottFurklaw> Look...sorry we took so long...
<CaseySK> Hey..it's ok. You...got there didn't you?
<SypherSK> ::lets Furklaw talk for the moment::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::not knowing what to do, puts on his finest
impression of an impassive Vulcan look::))
<CaseySK> ((laff))
<ScottFurklaw> Yeah...we coulda done more, y'know...
<CaseySK> I'm just happy to be alive. I couldn't have that
without you guys. Sorry I didn't get to thank you the other day...

::sardonically::))
<SypherSK> <Yes?>

<SypherSK> <Well, show me... Dude?>
<ScottFurklaw> Well, we don' wanna get caught...::grins::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> <No more downloading surfer movies for
you!>))
<CaseySK> ::rolls his eyes slightly:: It's pretty boring in
here...nothing to do but let the medicine talk for you...heheh...
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> <Surfer movies? I was watchin'
TMNT!>))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::dies!::))
<SypherSK> Have you tried the TV?
<Trix> <Sorry 'bout that...::sends him all the info he can::>
<SypherSK> ::helpfully, as he analyzes the info::
<CaseySK> It's daytime...I hate soaps...

the TV lightly:: Try it now. ::just gave the hospital premium channels::

<SypherSK> ::he can so it doesn't occur to him the havoc he wreaks
with airwaves, computers, and etc::

nice of you to give the whole city premium channels and all that..
But, you see...))

headed over here....
<SypherSK> Right. ::grabs his arm and waves to Casey before zapping
out::
<CaseySK> ::eyes widen as they dissapear:: What strange people I
meet...

created!!!!))

as the nurses come in to fuss over him::
<SypherSK> ::yes, the mun is swapping Scott and Furklaw interchangeably
all the time::

fer a doctor to look at me.....
<SypherSK> ::cocks his head, studying Furklaw worriedly::
You biological structure was fine when we transported?

Oops...))
<CaseySK> ((laff))
<ScottFurklaw> I mean...my body's fine...my brain isn't...
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Don't worry! I have duct tape!))
<SypherSK> Oh... What is it?

<ScottFurklaw> Lack of sugar...::grins::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::whicskwhiskwhissch:: <Furklaw> ::winds
up mummified in duct tape::))
<SypherSK> Oh.... Well, I saved you some donuts where Aric
couldn't find them..
<SypherSK> ::produces them inna blue glow in his hands:: They
shouldn't be much the worse for wear for the matter/energy conversion...
<ScottFurklaw> ::chuckles:: Thanks.
<Matrix> ::runs in there, solid:: Well?
<SypherSK> ::is meanwhile studying the info from Trix, can't quite
correlate Casey's too hot signature with any one of the chemicals.. is
cross-referencing now:;
<SypherSK> Well, what? You can't have the donuts.
<Matrix> Ha, ha...I meant what didja find in what I sent you?
<SypherSK> Nothing that makes sense.
<SypherSK> Beyond they were all mutagenic in nature... which is
never a good sign.
<Matrix> S'what I thought...
<CaseySK> ((::laff:: all of them? gee...I'm surprised he
isn't 5 different kinds of mutation))
<SypherSK> ((<Matrix> He didn't get in that green stuff in
the canister labelled TGRI, did he?!))
<CaseySK> ((::dies::))
<CaseySK> ((TMNT forever!))
<SypherSK> ((Yeah!))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::DEAD!!::))
<SypherSK> Well... He seems okay thus far... Proper
numbers of everything..
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> No third hand or eighth tail or anything...))
<Matrix> Hrm...mebbe we outta take a closer look at it...and see
if there's any more data at the hospital...
<SypherSK> Pulled up his hospital record.. They haven't found anything...
Not yet anyways..
<ScottFurklaw> ::flops onto the couch to catch a nap::
<MatrixSK> :frowns in thought:: hrm...

<SypherSK> ((Cover all the good ones in one night..))
<SypherSK> Hrm indeed...
<MatrixSK> Well, might as well wait until any new development...
<SypherSK> Right.
<SypherSK> So, whada we do now?
<CaseySK> ((::burns down the hospital:: voila...new development))
<SypherSK> ((::DIES!::))

<SypherSK> Hmm.. Wait.. ::evil grin:: Let's take the duel
to the gym....
<CaseySK> ((nah...why would they need one of those))
<SypherSK> ((I dunno.. Mebbe fer all those extras wounded in
the falling debris seen so frequently.. But, hey... They're just extras.))
<CaseySK> ((didn't know if you were waitin on me or what ;)

<MatrixSK> <Oh, so now you want me ta' kick yer tail in the gym!?>
<SypherSK> ((We were. BTW, I'm naming your development MegaKat

<GuyInnaSuit> ((<Guy> See?! It's turning you.. British!
<Guards> ::draw away in horror::))
<CaseySK> ((::dies!!::))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<CaseySK> ::hoping they won't notice...hides the remote::
Ahhh...that would be..tragic?
<GuyInnaSuit> Very.
<CaseySK> ::tries to think of an excuse to leave:: Well, how
may I help you?
<GuyInnaSuit> Now... Have you noticed any... undesirable side effects?
<CaseySK> No I haven't.
<CaseySK> ::says that confidently by the way::
<GuyInnaSuit> ((<Casey> I have super strength now, but that's
not undesirable. I like it.))
<GuyInnaSuit> Hmm.. ::writes something down on a notepad he pulled
out::
<CaseySK> ((that's what I was thinking))
<GuyInnaSuit> ::studies Casey closely::
<CaseySK> ::smiles nicely::
<GuyInnaSuit> ((<Casey> If I appear to be freaking out, it's
cuz of you guys..))
<CaseySK> ((true true))
<GuyInnaSuit> ::hmms to himself and stands:: Well,... Call
us if you seem to be having any problems...
<CaseySK> :: relieved but not trying to show it:: Will do.
<GuyInnaSuit> ::never does to kill someone in the hospital, you
see... or prematurely... he read the "If I were an evil overlord..." list,
he's trying not to make the classic bad guy mistakes::
<GuyInnaSuit> ::nods and leads his guys out::
<CaseySK> ::sighs with relief as the baddies leave::
<CaseySK> ((gratsi...I even speak some italian ;) ))
<CaseySK> ::speaks to himself:: I have to get out of here soon.
I bet they're watching me now. Great!
<GuyInnaSuit> ((Methinks Furklaw shoulda left a number or something...))
<MatrixSK> ((ROFL!!!!))
<CaseySK> ((is he known for thinking?))
<MatrixSK> ((He tends to be kind and courteous. ;) ))
<MatrixSK> ((That is...before the donuts arrive...))
<CaseySK> ((:giggle:))
<CaseySK> ((casey::Is someone gonna come rescue me now??))
<Sypher> ::left a card for Casey with the MBI's number::
<CaseySK> ::slowly tries to sit up. He gets a little dizzy
and sinks back down on to the bed. He soon tries again::
<MatrixSK> Okay.....as much as I hate to admit it..you beat me...
<CaseySK> ::sits up finally...bandages and cords and all and looks
around the room::
<SypherSK> ::has Trix inna.. some kinda hold.. has his foot practically
in his ear:: You think?
<SypherSK> ::his arm being twisted rather painfully::
<MatrixSK> Naahhh....::goes acoherent, and zips outts his grasp::
<SypherSK> Cheater! We agreed to be solid!
<CaseySK> ::looks down and notices the card on the bed table::
I hope those suits didn't see this sitting here. ((uh-oh))
<MatrixSK> Until it involved my arm being twisted! ::tackles!::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Don't worry... They mess with us and I erase
all their records like Sandra Bullock in "The Net."))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!!, loved that movie!))
<SypherSK> ::goes acoherent::
<MatrixSK> ::ditto::
<CaseySK> Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wing it. ::leans
over painfully to grab the phone::
<MatrixSK> ::zaps into the main office:: He's cheating! ::to whoever's
there::
<CaseySK> ::punches the buttons of the number:: ::hopes the
phone isn't bugged/tapped::
<Trina> ::typing on de' comp.:: Ain't asking...
<SypherSK> ::zaps up behind him:: Well, he's a poopie-head!
<SypherSK> ((<Trina> Ain't commenting... ::typetype::))
<CaseySK> ((ahhh...such a pleasant word...poopie head))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<MatrixSK> Am NOT!! ::tackles!::
<SypherSK> ARgh!
<Trina> Careful with the equipment, children...
<SypherSK> ::from floor:: We're better than most six and two
month olds... We don't chew on things...
<SypherSK> ((<Furklaw> Except my donuts!))
<CaseySK> ::ringringring::
<MatrixSK> ((::DIES!::))
<Trina> ::laughs, then reaches for the phone::
<MatrixSK> What he said! ::tackles anew!::
<Trina> MK Bureau, Lt. Korat speak...::wince at crash:: ing...
<SypherSK> Gah! ::kick::
<MatrixSK> Oof!!
<Trina> ::through teeth:: We're just trainin', mind you...
<CaseySK> Umm...hello, this is Casey Lennox. I would like
to speak to two of your employees, but I don't know their names.
I hope descriptions will work for you...
<SypherSK> ::wasn't granted super-hearing, so misses this::
<SypherSK> ::issa dark-furred tomkat with even darker stripes and
blonde hair that looks bleached, BTW::
<Furklaw> ::issa an all white/very light gray kat with a patch of
black headfur with black tips on both his ears and tail::
<CaseySK> ::relays the information on the looks of the two that
visited him::
<Trina> ::blinks:: I suppose you're looking for Sgt. Furklaw and
Agent Greypaw? ::pause:: Were you the one that the MKC Labs?
<SypherSK> ((<Trina> Oh... ::kick at Sy's exposed rear::
I know THEM! ::kick::))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<CaseySK> ::smiles wanly:: Yes, I would be that unfortunate person.
I would like to speak to one of them, if I may.
<SypherSK> ::ears prick forward at his name:: <Trix. Whoa.
Somethin's up.>
<Trina> I'll connect ya' with them. ::motions the phone to Sy::
I'll get Furklaw up....
<CaseySK> Ummm...thank you Ms.
<SypherSK> ::goes acoherent to get away from Trix and zips to the
phone:: Hello?
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> ::falls flat on the floor with Sy gone
from under him::))
<Trix> ::rubs the back of his head::
<CaseySK> Hello. It's Casey. The crispy guy in the hospital.
<SypherSK> ((<Trix> I swear on my newly broken nose I'll kill
you...))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<SypherSK> ::chuckles lightly:: I seem to remember you. What's
up?
<CaseySK> ::frowns slightly:: I was wondering if I might as
for your help.
<Furklaw> ::walks back, semi dozin' off:: huh?
<SypherSK> Anytime. What's the trouble?
<SypherSK> ::to Furklaw:: It's Casey.
<SypherSK> ((<Furklaw> Who? <Sy> The crispy critter. <Furklaw>
Oh.))
<Furklaw> ::blinks::
<CaseySK> Well, I got a lovely visit from some suits from the Bio
Chem lab. They were asking me strange questions and looking at me
like they wanted to fit me with cement shoes...
<SypherSK> Hmm... Be there in one sec... Oh. Don't hang up
and keep the phone away from your head.
<CaseySK> ::moves phone away from his head::
<SypherSK> ::going acoherent, grabs Furklaw and zaps them both thru
the line::
<Furklaw> He---!
<CaseySK> ::jumps as they appear:: Wow...when you say you'll
be there in a sec...you really mean it.
<SypherSK> ::explains while they're somewhat merged on the way...
well, the gist.. it only takes a few instants::
<SypherSK> ::as they reappear is speaking aloud:: It doesn't
look good...
<SypherSK> ((<Furklaw> Info... zapped into.. head..
hurt bad.... ::holding his head::))
<ScottFurklaw> ((ROFL!!))
<ScottFurklaw> Not at all..what did they look like?
<SypherSK> ::motions to Casey::
<CaseySK> ::grimaces at having to stand up:: Well, they looked
like FBI agents or something.
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> The Biochem Mafia.. ::rubbing his chin thoughtfully::
I've heard of them... They have a standing war with the owners of MegaKat
Bio-Engineering...))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::snorks::))
<ScottFurklaw> The Feds? But...they're in D.C....what would they
be doiin' in MKC?
<CaseySK> ::shrugs:: He said he was a representative of MK Biochem.
<SypherSK> Probaby weren't Feds... ::accesses his link to the Cyberkat...
and looks up some stuff::
<ScottFurklaw> ::frowns:: MK Biochem. doesn't have representatives
that look like Feds agents....
<SypherSK> ::then shakes his head:: Not Feds... Local. ::yes,
he tapped the FBI computers... he does that sort of thing... one
of the things Dark Kat created him to do, in fact::
<CaseySK> ::hobbles over to closet to get clothes and then realizes
that his clothes are probably toasty bits on the floor of MK Biochem.::
<CaseySK> ::turns back slowly:: I'm sorry I can't be of more
help. ::give a description of GuyInnaSuit if it helps::
<SypherSK> ::thinking and accessing:: But, they are several million
dollars shy of meeting their budget this year... due to losses from Dr.
Viper and lawsuits...
<CaseySK> Hey....they did mention that Viper guy.
<CaseySK> And talked about mutations and things.
<ScottFurklaw> Obviously trying to get more info outta ya' then
what they needed...and how bad you were affected...
<CaseySK> ::remembers:: And asked about strange side effects.
:walks over to grab the remote and shows it to them::
<SypherSK> ::looks at it:: Your body temperature is reading
a bit hotter than normal...
<ScottFurklaw> ::scritches his head:: This is odd...
<CaseySK> ::smirks:: A bit...
<SypherSK> ::nods:: And, MegaKat Biochemical is probably afraid
he's the next Dr. Viper.... They can't afford any more bad press....
::thinking::
<CaseySK> ::sighs:: Oh great....they have me pegged for the villian.
<SypherSK> Or another lawsuit.. Either way, you're a liability.
<ScottFurklaw> We're gonna have ta' keep you under watch...
<CaseySK> Guess I can't blame them. I'd want to give me cement
shoes or an extended vacation too. ::laughs, but decides it hurts
and stops::
<SypherSK> ::looks at him curiously:: Why? You're not out
to destroy the city.
<CaseySK> No...but I would think about a lawsuit. ::smiles::
<SypherSK> ::chuckles::
<CaseySK> Maybe workman's comp?
<ScottFurklaw> ::issa thinking...he does that all the time::
<SypherSK> Well.... We need to get you someplace where you can get
medical care and stay hidden...
<CaseySK> And where would this be pray tell?
<ScottFurklaw> Back at the Bureau...I'll be the one who'll look
you over.
<CaseySK> Well, at least I don't have to worry about trusting you.
<CaseySK> ::smiles slightly:: Hey...can I get some real clothes
there? ::points to hospital robe:: These things are miserable
and drafty.
<SypherSK> Well... We have uniforms...
<ScottFurklaw> ::nods::
<CaseySK> Anything's better than this. ::is feeling a bit
better:: I really would have expected to hurt a lot more than this after
I had nearly been burned to death....maybe it's just me.
<SypherSK> Or some more effects of those chemicals... ::matter-of-factly::
<CaseySK> ::raises his hands slightly and looks at them. He
suddenly feels a little like a comic book character.::
<SypherSK> ::studies his infrared signature thoughtfully::
<CaseySK> ::looks up suddently:: So, which are you two.
Furklaw and Greypaw...That's what the lady on the phone said.
<ScottFurklaw> I'm Sgt. Scott Furklaw...::extends a hand::
<SypherSK> Greypaw here, but I prefer Sypher.
<CaseySK> ::shakes hands with both::
<CaseySK> I am A. Casey Lennox officially. Nice to meet you.
<ScottFurklaw> Ditto. Now, how 'bout we get outta here before those
guys come back?
<CaseySK> Marvelous idea.
<CaseySK> Yeah...I guess I'll have to get you guys to explain that
::points to the phone and infers them coming out of the phone:: later.
<SypherSK> Well, we're going back the powerline route.
<SypherSK> It's a bit faster and has less static.
<CaseySK> ::looks a little hesitant::
<SypherSK> Don't worry. I won't lose any of your consituent
molecules.
<CaseySK> ::raises eyebrow:: Umm...guess I'll just have to
trust you on that one.
<SypherSK> ::offers him a hand, tagging Furklaw's arm::
<ScottFurklaw> ::takes in a breath::
<CaseySK> ::takes Sypher's hand::
<SypherSK> ::zaps them outta there::
<SypherSK> ::has them all reappear in the main office at the MBI,
they're used to him now::
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> Honey, I'm home! ))
<ScottFurklaw> ((ROFL!))
<CaseySK> ::looks around::
<SypherSK> Welcome to my humble home.. and Furklaw's workplace.
<SypherSK> ((<Casey> You live here? <Sy> Well, in
the computer really... <Casey> ::faint:: <Sy> Wha'd I
say?))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::snorks::))
<CaseySK> ::smiles:: Well, thank you. I appreciate all your
help. Seems I'm indebted to the two of you.
<SypherSK> No trouble at all... Now, you're going to need a place
to get comfortable.. My cot'll do.
<ScottFurklaw> ::nods:: I'll get you some clothes...
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::claps his hands together:: Trix!
My cot. <Trix> Do I look like your servant?))
<ScottFurklaw> ((<Trix> Get it yerself! *--ZAP--*!!))
<CaseySK> Are you sure? That's kinda inconvenient for you.
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::zaps back, war ensues::))
<SypherSK> Not really. I don't need to sleep. I just indulge my
biological form sometimes.
<CaseySK> ::looks a tad confused:: Yes...well...I guess that'll
get explained to me sometime.
<ScottFurklaw> It's confusing at first...::comes back with a reg.
uniform::
<CaseySK> ::takes the uniform:: I'd take a shower...but I seem to
be mummified at the moment.
<ScottFurklaw> Well..we've got one in the locker rooms... I'll go
tell Captain Korat yer here... ::goes:
<CaseySK> I wonder if I should see a doctor before I decide to take
these bandages off ::points to his mummification::
<SypherSK> ::waiting with him:: I'll explain myself whenever
you're bored enough to want to hear... Oh... Well, Furklaw's the
medic.
<SypherSK> And, I've an extensive knowledge of feline biology.
<CaseySK> Wow...you guys have quite an establishment here.
<Jason> ::walks in, Furklaw trailing behind him::
<SypherSK> ::running his sentences together, can keep up with Casey
even while he's talking.. multi-tasking, you know::
<SypherSK> And, there's the boss kat. ::pointing to Jase::
<Jason> And, this is the guy?
<CaseySK> ::smiles:: Hello there.
<ScottFurklaw> ::nods::
<Jason> ::nods, extends a hand:: Capt. Jason Korat.
<CaseySK> ::takes his hand and shakes it:: A. Casey Lennox.
<SypherSK> ::debates where to let Casey sleep, doubts he'd like
sharing space with Trix in the comp room::
<SypherSK> ((NO one likes sharing space with Trix but Sy...
Just kidding!))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::dies!::))
<CaseySK> ((laff))
<SypherSK> ((<Casey> I can live with the Trix Rabbit... But,
I'm giving him some of the cereal... cuz it's just not fair.))
<Jason> And, I've been told. You're welcome to stay, and we'll provide
the medical services.
<CaseySK> That's very kind of you. I hope I'm not to much
of an inconvenience.
<ScottFurklaw> ((::is dead::))
<CaseySK> ((::notices that theres lots of dying going on around
here...::))
<SypherSK> ((We have.... oh... 999999999999999... Yeah,
that many lives.))
<ScottFurklaw> ((Mua ha ha!))
<CaseySK> ((That's a lot.))
<SypherSK> ((Yeah.. We tilted the machine to get more.))
<SypherSK> ((Got some gumballs as a bonus.))
<ScottFurklaw> ((ROFL!!))
<CaseySK> Umm...Sgt. Furklaw? I was wondering about these
bandages...since you're the medic, I thought I'd ask.
<CaseySK> ((laff))
<SypherSK> ::has finally settled on setting up his cot in the...
wherever Furklaw examines kats and gone to do so::
<ScottFurklaw> Well, let's go to sick bay and look you over...
<CaseySK> Thanks. ::follows Furklaw to sickbay::
<SypherSK> ((<Furklaw> Computer. Sick bay. --funky sound of
being "beamed" follows--))
<CaseySK> ((::snork?::))
<SypherSK> ::has the cot all set up::
<SypherSK> ((::and is looking for a mint to put on the pillow!::))
<CaseySK> ((::dies::))
<ScottFurklaw> OKay...::let's see what we've got here...
<CaseySK> ::sits down greatfully:: Aahhhh...much better.
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> ::digs a slightly linty one out of the MBI
couch and wraps it in an old gum wrapper:: Have to do...))
<CaseySK> ((eeeewwwwwwww))
<SypherSK> ((Mwahaha!))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::dies!::))
<SypherSK> ::leans on the wall nearby::
<ScottFurklaw> Hrm..::unwraps the bandage around his arm and begins
to check::
<CaseySK> ::doesn't wanna look in case it's really nasty looking::
<SypherSK> ((<Casey> Eeee... ::pulling away, eyes shut::
<Furklaw> Your fur color really isn't THAT hideous... I mean, it's an
odd shade and all but...))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::dies!::))
<CaseySK> ((laff))
<ScottFurklaw> Hrm...okay..obvious loss of fur, but it'll grow back...
::checks his back::
<CaseySK> ((yeah...the gold metallic hairs might give it a strange
look...))
<CaseySK> ::smiles slightly:: I'd sure hate to be bald.
<SypherSK> His infrared's reading a bit lower now... and he's added
some weird oscillations up in the ultraviolet range...
<ScottFurklaw> ::blinks:: That all??? ::as he checks his back..is
seeing those metallic hairs now::
<SypherSK> Well, I'd know more, but I don't have any equipment beyond
my own vision to link with...
<CaseySK> Yes?
<SypherSK> And, I wasn't designed for examining... The
features are mainly for combat situations and some stealth work...
<ScottFurklaw> Well....I'm getting different colored fur here...
<ScottFurklaw> Unless you've always been a mixed...::to Casey::
<CaseySK> ::wonders:: How different?
<ScottFurklaw> Um...metallic gold?
<CaseySK> ::eyes widen:: Metallic? That's a new one on me.
::laughs slightly:: Pardon that horrible pun.
<CaseySK> ((that's a new one on me...::dies::))
<SypherSK> ::chuckles::
<SypherSK> ((::snorks!::))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::dies!::))
<ScottFurklaw> Hrm...::takes out his stethoscope:: Breath...
<CaseySK> ::breathes::
<ScottFurklaw> Cough...
<SypherSK> ((<Casey> I already was. ))
<CaseySK> ((aaaaahhh!! Cold stethoscope!))
<SypherSK> ((::dies!::))
<CaseySK> ::coughs::
<ScottFurklaw> ((::dies!::)))
<ScottFurklaw> Hrm...::checks his arm again...and blinks!:: Yer
regrowin' fur!
<CaseySK> ::looks down:: Isn't that normal?
<SypherSK> Not that fast, no.
<ScottFurklaw> What he said...
<CaseySK> ::nods:: I see.
<CaseySK> I must really have been mixing the good stuff in the lab
that night.
<ScottFurklaw> Whatever it was...it ain't your normal fur...but,
if that's the case, I don'tthink yer gonna need the bandages...
<CaseySK> ::looks a little surprised:: Wow...you're right.
That was fast. I guess that's good then...
<ScottFurklaw> Yeah..but it's still odd...
<ScottFurklaw> You know...I'll be trying to check up on you onna
reg. basis to see any progress here...
<CaseySK> Hey...it's the least I can do since you're putting me
up here.
<SypherSK> I'll keep an eye on him too.
<CaseySK> I hate to sound like a broken record, but, Thanks again.
<ScottFurklaw> OKay...::hands him the clothes:: Yer free to go,
I guess... :grins:: And, no prob.
<CaseySK> Free to go around the place? Perhaps I could get
a guided tour so I don't walk someplace I'm not supposed to be.
<SypherSK> I can arrange that.
<SypherSK> And, just don't go near our nuclear reactor... ::winks,
is kidding of course::
<ScottFurklaw> ::nods:: C'n you do that? I'm gonna take a closer
look at this..
<SypherSK> Sure.
<SypherSK> ((<Sy> This what? <Furklaw> That remote
control he had... I've never seen the buttons arranged like this...))
<CaseySK> ((hahahah))
<ScottFurklaw> ((ROFL!! to Sy!))
<SypherSK> ((<Furklaw> It has a button... I want to push the
button.. but I'm not sure what it will do... ::must have seen Titan AE
to get this::))
<ScottFurklaw> ((Well, it be late anyway...shall we end?))
<ScottFurklaw> ((::DEAD!!!!!!!::))
